2 Answers
The tire model for the BYD Tang fuel version is 245/45R20. The first number 245 represents the tire width of 245MM, 45 indicates the aspect ratio of the tire section is 45%, meaning the section height is 45% of the width, the letter R stands for radial tire, and 20 denotes the rim diameter of 20 inches. The BYD Tang fuel version has a fuel consumption of 9L per 100 kilometers. In addition to the model, the tire also displays the following common data: Tire cord material: Represented by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters A to Z represent the certified speed ratings of tires from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Commonly used speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: Indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire for practical use, such as 'Standard Rim 5.00F'.
I remember my BYD Tang fuel version originally came with 255/50 R20 tires. After driving for two or three years, covering both city and highway routes, I feel this size is quite stable. The 255mm tire width provides strong grip, preventing skidding during turns; the 50% aspect ratio is neither too thin nor too thick, offering a comfortable ride on bumpy roads; the 20-inch wheels look grand and match the SUV's body weight. I regularly check tire pressure and wear, about once every quarter. Low tire pressure increases fuel consumption, while high pressure reduces comfort. When replacing tires, it's best to stick to the original factory specifications and avoid arbitrarily changing sizes, as it can affect suspension and handling—safety is key. I've tried several tire brands and recommend choosing more durable ones that can last tens of thousands of kilometers longer, rather than just opting for cheap options.
